yes, wellbutrin is more than likely the prescibed medication of choice. As you probably know it's also prescribed for nicotine withdraw. Wellbutrin doesn't have any sort of euphoric stimulant effect though.
Like the person before me mentioned, there's a lot of alternative supplements that are good like L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine (my favorite).
There's also some mild dopaminergic drugs like mirapex and bromocriptine that are typically used for Parkinson's disease.
As for focalin, ritalin, dexedrine, or adderall, some people coming off drugs of abuse I'm sure have had some success by substituting with these medications, But for any TRUE addict, it's pretty much general knowledge that these are not safe to take if you are to trying arrest the disease by staying sober. I've tried it before and any of those mentioned scheduleII prescription stimulants just further reinforced my compulsion to get high. that's just my experience, I'm not trying to give advice
